Abstract

Construction projects have become very complex - comprising varying activities and processes, and requiring inputs from a wide range of disciplines, especially in the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies. Dealing with such matters has raised several issues, such as data inconsistency, different data versions, and data loss. Even though BIM offers a means of solving such problems, evidence suggests that a governance model is needed to facilitate BIM management across the construction project supply-chain and lifecycle. A comprehensive survey was conducted with the aim of identifying construction industry practitioners' requirements for developing a non-proprietary BIM governance model for facilitating collaboration throughout the supply-chain during a building's lifecycle. Informed construction practitioners in the UK were the main contributors to this study. The findings of the survey reveal the need for a non-proprietary BIM governance model with its underpinning cloud infrastructure storage solution for facilitating collaboration across the supply-chain during a building lifecycle. This study seeks to lay the foundation for such a model.
